Sonja Morgan had no shame about her "walk of shame" on Tuesday's The Real Housewives of New York City.
"No one is concerned?" asked Kristen Taekman, whom Morgan invited over for a beauty treatment, but she wasn't home when she arrived the next morning. "Only Sonja could get away with this stuff."

Miss USA 2012 Nana Meriwether helped get the party started at Fashion Week in New York City.
Healthy Hollywood celebrated with Nana and kicked off the weeklong fashion fest in style and with the right attitude, as I got invited to attend the Carrie Hammer show which spotlights "role models, not runway models."
Instead of gorgeous amazons sashaying down the runway, the designer had real women with a mind for business walking in her line of career-oriented fashion. Along with Nana, media executives, entrepreneurs and a host of other savvy women took to the catwalk.

Last week, Ken's snot-green superfan dress (and his temper, uh, maybe?) cost him his spot on "Project Runway." Seven designers left, and they know it. The pressure is on. What designer will get shown the door on week 11? We're getting closer and closer to Fashion Week.
This week, Tim Gunn introduces the group to Rob Le Bras-Brown, from Hp, for the Hp/Intel Textile Design Challenge. Let's make fabric! It's like crafty magic! They have to get inspiration from the "next generation" of innovators, an up-and-coming "muse" for the challenge. They are a cool group of modern idea-pushers. And the winner of the challenge gets a fancy computer along with the win. Nice.
Justin is partnered with Nana Meriwether, Miss USA 2012, who co-founded a non-profit in South Africa to open schools and clinics.Kate is working with 17-year-old Maria Gonzalez, a software developer, who created an app called "Say Something" to help the homeless population.

The theme for Zang Toi’s runway show was ‘Ballet Babe,’ and what a show it was! From a grand and dramatic opening featuring a ballet dancer twirling down the catwalk, to ethereal and wintry pantsuits and gowns that lead to a standing ovation, this show truly pirouetted right off the runway!
Zang Toi‘s Spring 2014 collection debut on Sept. 9 during New York Fashion Week was elegant, creative and beautiful from start to finish. The designer created an exquisite ballet theme, where women’s and men’s looks ranged from delicate cashmere pantsuits for fall and winter to red-carpet gowns in chilling spring blues and inky blacks. Short skirts with knee-high looks and billowing tulle ruffles made us feel like we were witnessing a romantic ballet, set against delicate, choir-like music. If these looks inspired us this much now, just wait until they make their way onto red carpets!

It won't air for weeks, but for the "Project Runway" Season 12 finalists, it's all over except for the waiting.
The last eight designers in the reality show competition all presented their collections Friday (Sept. 6) at New York's Mercedz-Benz Fashion Week held in the middle of Lincoln Center.
Judge/host Heidi Klum introduced fellow judges Zac Posen and Nina Garcia, who were joined by "Scandal" star Kerry Washington. Alyssa Milano -- who will host Season 3 of "Project Runway All Stars" -- actress Paula Garces, rapper Bow Wow and 2012's Miss USA Nana Meriwether were also in attendance.
Wearing a bronze, one-shouldered gown, Klum, knowing that the fashion week theaters run on an extremely tight schedule, asked to "get the party started," but not before dragging mentor and host Tim Gunn onto the catwalk for a declaration of love.
"I'm rolling bandages in the back," Gunn said. "Just metaphorically."

For 19-year-old Logan West, being Miss Teen USA definitely has its perks, like the opportunity to help other young women.
When Logan West was named Miss Teen USA on July 28, 2012, her whole life changed. During a recent visit to HollywoodLife.com, she revealed exclusively what it’s been like living with Miss Universe Olivia Culpo and former Miss USA Nana Meriwether, what she wants to do to help the youth — and what dating is really like.
Logan West: I Took A Stand Against Bullying
Receiving the Miss Teen USA title meant many things to Logan — most importantly that she got to stand up against bullies, something she admits she struggled with:
I was bullied when I was in the seventh grade by a student who told me I did not act my skin color, but I had no idea what bullying was. I didn’t really know how to describe it.
